Good morning dear reader. I hope you had an amazing and peaceful night rest. Welcome to another wonderful Tuesday morning, the first Tuesday of this month of August. I want to really appreciate all my readers from across the globe. I hope that I have been a blessing to you through my write-ups. You see, there is a serious enraging war in the spirit realm. A war for the souls of men and most of us Christians aren't even aware of this spiritual reality. That is why we still see Christians going about their daily activities like nothing is going on. We see them compromising principles and standards because they have not come into this truth. I plead with you who reads this blog post every time, please get to work for the master, pray for more souls to be brought into the kingdom of God. Preach the word, teach his word, agonize over souls in the place of prayer. It is through powerful and prayerful evangelism that we can win souls for God. Use every opportunity and chance you have to win a soul for the kingdom. Also help me share this blog post to your friends or groups on any social media you have in your country. Let us evangelise the world through the internet. There are a lot of things that go on online but we have very few sites that are dedicated towards consistent and sound teaching of God's word, contributions, questions and answers and even prayer sessions. That is my dream, to influence and saturate the internet with God's word more than any pornography, gambling, football site etc has. Join me realize this dream.
Today am writing with a burden in my heart. A burden for those who just go through life without a vision or purpose. Who take whatever life throws at them. Who get tired easily of the difficulties, you even ask them what they want out of life, they cannot even say. Ask them what their plans for their lives are, they cannot answer you. Before I go more into this topic, I want to refer you to my brother's blog, http:// fulfill purpose.blogspot.com.ng. There are a lot of impactful and powerful articles on purpose and relationship in his blog. The Holy Spirit just laid it in my heart to teach on this topic but he (my brother) has an anointing for the purpose and relationship ministry. I can assure you that you will be blessed by his posts. Now, what is purpose? Purpose is the reason for which something is done or created or for which something's exists. We see that purpose means reason for something being created. Most persons do not realize that God created them for a reason. You were not laid like an egg, you were created for a purpose even manufacturers make a device for a reason. Look at the creation story in Gen 1: 1-26,
KJV:In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
NIV:In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2
KJV:And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
NIV:Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3
KJV:And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
NIV:And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4
KJV:And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
NIV:God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5

NIV:God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6
KJV:And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
NIV:And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”
7
KJV:And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
NIV:So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.
8
KJV:And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
NIV:God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9
KJV:And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
NIV:And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so.
10
KJV:And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
NIV:God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11
KJV:And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
NIV:Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
12
KJV:And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

NIV:And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years,
15
KJV:And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
NIV:and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16
KJV:And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
NIV:God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

18

NIV:to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

21
KJV:And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
NIV:So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22
KJV:And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
NIV:God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23
KJV:And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
NIV:And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24
KJV:And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
NIV:And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.
25
KJV:And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
NIV:God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26
KJV:And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
You see that every single thing God spoke into being, he did for a reason. Nothing is useless. I mean, if things God spoke have purpose, why in the world do you think that you who he settled down to create beautifully and powerfully will be useless. Fine things may be difficulty for you but that doesn't make you useless. You may not be handsome or rich or very intelligent that doesn't mean you were not created for a purpose. In your homes, you know that even rags are very important. Can you believe that you were created for a purpose? I am going to share an excerpt from my book, "success-driven" in a bid to show you how to know your purpose for life.
Dr. Myles Munroe of blessed memory talked in a conference which I was fortunate to get the tape and listen to. In that conference, he stated five questions that are supposed to govern a person's life to enable the person live a fulfilled life. I am not going to answer these questions for you but am going to talk about them, I am going to show you what these questions truly mean, so that you will answer them yourself and by so doing personalize your success.
(1) Who am I?
This question poses the psychological problem of IDENTITY or SIGNIFICANCE. You see, many of us go through life without ever know our significance or even our identity. Please, this is very different from purpose; your purpose in life births your identity. Take Bill Gates for instance, his purpose was computer engineering and now his identity is Microsoft. You cannot mention Bill Gates anywhere without thinking of Microsoft. So in order for you to accurately answer the question of IDENTITY or SIGNIFICANCE, you have to answer the question of purpose. I mean why should anybody in any circle know you? Why should the whole world mourn your death like Nelson Mandela’s? I know that nobody is indispensable but anyone can be so valuable.
We will stop here today. Join us again on Saturday as we study the second part of this series. I hope you have been blessed with today's write-up.
